now the hard thing is dyeing a big piece even ...i know how to do it but it needs a special set up that i'm working oninvolving rain water , a large bucket and a table to lay the fabric on afteryou remove it from the bath to avoid unevenness

... dyeing with indigo is even more of a pleasure than other natural dyesbecause you have to be so gentle to avoid air getting into the vatand it doesn't have to be boiled so you don't get hot or burn your hands( a beginners mistake i hope..)

well the nice thing for next weekend is that the dipped tea towelsare invited to participate in the zwarte markt as part of the kleine fabriekfair ! my tea towels at a children's clothes fair you might ask ?

the idea is that they want to give the fair a more grown up atmosphere :those are the ones who make and buy them and also because last yearthe clothes from belgium were quite popular which are as long as i can remembermore simple and more grown up in their choice of colors

plus belgium has a long tradition of quality fabrics which sort ofdyed out here in the netherlands

quite excited about visiting the fair...

TZAWA from the boys collectionbut i would buy it for a girl toonot available over here yet ...
